Is Labor dead, or just resting?

Posted by John, June 9th, 2013 - under Labor Party, Reformism.

Labor isn’t dead. It may be wounded but the desire of workers for a better world and its expression within capitalism as reformism are part and parcel of life for workers under capitalism. This means that the ALP or some variant can and will grow again. One task for the revolutionary left is to develop an alternative narrative and build an organisation to attract the militant section of the class who can see through Labor’s lies and ultimately understand that capitalism here and now cannot deliver the hoped for reforms that benefit the working class.
